The EPL Index Podcast — Harry Kane Favourite?: Two Footed Extra Time. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
This podcast is part of the Sports Social Podcast Network. What's good boys and girls? Two-footed podcast extra on Tuesday, the 8th of September. Let's have a look at the news. Harry Kane has made the Ballon Door shortlist. No surprise there. He is currently the favorite. Two other England players, Jude Bellingham, which is weird because he didn't have a particularly good season last year and Declan Rice. Lionel Messi has been nominated. Liminium Hall is one of six Spanish players. Personally, I think Michael Elisei has been the best player in the world over the last 12 months. But none of it matters when it comes to this thing because it's basically just a popularity competition. And Bappy and Vinicius are on the list. Gabrielle and Celebare as well, which is hilarious. None of them deserve to win it. So hopefully none of them will win it.
Scott McTominay has had a hard procedure, which has been a complete success. Anything like that is a concern. So hopefully he makes a quick return. Newcastle we're preparing for months. Freddie Howe's departure. I think Newcastle wanted any how gone. I'll talk with that more when we get to the summer transfer window for Newcastle on the main show. Or I think they wanted them gone. Personally. Lawrence Shankland is set to miss four months. That's a big blow for Rangers. He was sort of a marquee signing for them this summer. Como Chiefs giving up seats to older fans for Champions League debut. That's fantastic to see. London amateur goalkeeper could be next in line for the throne of Uganda. An amateur goalkeeper, a vacant throne in Uganda and the search for New King. South East Don's founded by British rapper Don Strapsey.
Our argument was the most well known football clubs in the UK. Amateur football clubs in the UK. So the current goalkeeper is called George Desmond Kamarazi. He's currently in Uganda to attend the funeral of the King of Uganda who's just passed away. As his tradition, his successor will be named before the burial and it's been widely reported Kamarazi has been chosen as the region's new king. Uganda's government by elected president and parliament but there's several traditional kingdoms that continue to have significant cultural influence despite not having political power. The two row two row kingdom in western Uganda was ruled by King Oyo from 1995. He died in the United States last week, age 34.
So he was three when he became the king? Is that correct? Kamarazi is 36 years of age and he was a co-zen of the late King. Let's see. Yeah, at three he was, he became the monarch. That's mad. King before was only 50 when he died. I might stay away from that if I was. It doesn't seem to be good for your health. Yeah, look, that's a bit cool. Let's see. What else do we have here? Okay, Conor Cody has said the problems run very deep at Leicester. That is absolutely correct.
Absolutely correct. We do have Champions League taking place tonight. At the moment, Asden Villa are winning 2-1 away to Club Bruga. John McGinn put them ahead. Vettless and equalized but Emmy Buendiah has made it to 1 and A.K are beating last by a golden hill. Razvan Marin scoring the only goal there. In today's 8 p.m. kickoffs, it's Porto Manchester City. Probably the tie of the week in Real Madrid Inter, Dortmund Vireal and Leal against Betis. Me. Not really all that appealing if I'm being honest. And like tomorrow's not all that appealing either. Liverpool at Letty is the tie of the of the night tomorrow night. And on Thursday, it is grim. Come all versus Leipzig is the best game, I think.
That's, you've got a bit of a Jules A.M. Reigno to our B.W.F. and Fenerbahce to take on Roma. But it's such a poor week of games. Yeah, there we go. Right. I'm going to go to break. I'll be back with the gossip. Right, welcome back. So Manchester United have completed a deal to sign Liverpool 16-year-old English midfielder Isaac Condé. He's not a midfielder, he's a winger. Brent for the open contract talks with Kevin Shade to deter interest from Arsenal. I think they just open contract talks because they want to keep their player and extend his contract. Don't think it's anything to do with Arsenal. Manchester United and Liverpool have made direct contract wolves over a move for Mateus Manay. The windows closed so I don't think they have. Manchester City are keeping tabs on Alex Bayena. I doubt it. I really do doubt it. Manchester United remain keen to sign Lewis Page from Leicester. I understandably, but I wonder if other clubs know John Ben if United may be of Mr. Chancellor. AC Milan are preparing to sign,
sorry, preparing a move to sign Hendrick on loan from Rail Madrid in January. former Manchester United and England winger Jaden Sancio is in talks with at least two Premier League clubs over a potential move. Hmm. I think Sancio is very talented. I don't think his head has been right since he missed that penalty at the Euros. I think that had a devastating effect on him if I'm being completely honest. I also think the move to United was the wrong move. That happened the same year. That same summary missed that penalty and he joined United and his career nose-dived. Like he was what 21 at the time. They paid 74, 73 million for him. He left on a free this past summer having been on loan three different times.
You know, they basically three and a half years at United and he played 58 Premier League games in a six year stint at the club. He played 83 games total. He barely played the first half of 22, 23 got loaned out the second half went to Dortmund. It was okay. It wasn't great. 24, 25 you went to Chelsea. It was okay. It wasn't great. Last season Villa. It was okay. It wasn't great. At least he won a trophy. He won a couple of trophies. He won a trophy with Chelsea as well. But he's still only 26. He does still have a chance to resurrect things. I just don't think he's suited to being a winger in the Premier League. I think in a like a 3-4-2-1 as one of the two interiors behind the striker. I think he could actually really do really well there. I think he could do well as a second striker not attacking midfielder 10 but a second striker type 10
who plays more up with the number nine. I don't think he works all that well as a winger in the Premier League. He's so talented. He does lack burst. Makes him sort of easy for fullbacks to swallow up. I don't know where he goes. If I was nodding him far as I take a gamble, because him and Gibbs White behind would or the lap could be quite decent but they have Hudson Adoy there who is similar enough player. And also at the time those two coming through, this was England's wing problem solved. Those two are going to go on the wings. They'll figure out which one goes right and which one stays on the preferred left. Hudson Adoy was more likely to go to the right because he had a bit more pace. They're both now 25-26 and neither have come close to reaching their potential. Such a shame. If I were advising him and advising to go to Italy,
I think Italy would suit him really well. I think Spain could do well in, but I don't think the Premier League is for him. Federico Chiesa will leave Liverpool in January if he struggles for game time. Let me tell you now Federico you're going to struggle for game time. If the Saturday windows open and there's a move to be had, take it and go. That's me for the day. I'll see you tomorrow. Bye bye.
